PLANNING YOUR HOME SECURITY NEEDS Before you begin to install your Security System, analyze the premises to determine your security needs. If your premises has two entrances, you may want to put a Door/Window Sensor on each door. You may choose your main door and a window that is hidden by some bushes and is not visable from the street. If you are securing a small business, you may choose the front door and the warehouse door as locations for your sensors. (If your security plan requires additional Door/Window Sensors, or some Motion Sensors, see Additional Accessories at the end of the manual. Motion Sensors (optional) monitor an area and if there is any movement in that area, the Motion Sensor will send a signal to the Audio Alarm and the alarm will sound. Sketch a map of the premises and determine which doors and windows need sensors and whether you require Motion Sensors. BEDROOM BEDROOM BACK DOOR DOOR/WINDOW SENSOR KITCHEN BATTERY MAINTENANCE The SC-10 Security System comes with five batteries that may have to be replaced at some point: One 9 volt alkaline battery for the Audio Alarm Two 12 volt alkaline batteries for the Door/Window Sensors Two 12 volt alkaline batteries for the Keychain Transmitters Recommendation: test your system periodically to ensure that all batteries are working. AUDIO ALARM BATTERY The Audio Alarm comes equipped with a back up battery in case the electrical power is interrupted for any reason. When the Audio Alarm battery is low, the LO BATT lights goes on. To replace the Audio Alarm backup battery: 1. Take the Audio Alarm off the wall BATHROOM 2. Turn off the unit and remove the AC adapter MASTER BEDROOM AUDIO ALARM FRONT DOOR LIVING ROOM DINING ROOM DOOR/WINDOW SENSOR 3. Remove the six screws then take off the back cover 4. Disconnect old battery 5. Connect new battery 6. Replace the back cover and install the six screws The Audio Alarm is water resistant so it can be installed indoors or outdoors within access to an electrical outlet. We recommend that you install the Audio Alarm close to the front door so you can hear when the unit is activated/ deactivated.

DELETE SENSORS AND TRANSMITTERS You can not delete one sensor/transmitter from the Audio Alarm at a time. You must clear all the sensors and transmitters that are currnetly communicating with the Audio Alarm, then re-program the ones you want to keep. Delete All Sensors and Transmitters 1. Turn the Audio Alarm off by sliding the switch on the bottom of the Audio Alarm so that the ON light is not lit. 2. Press and hold the learn button found on the bottom of the Audio Alarm. 3. While holding the button, turn on the Audio Alarm by sliding the switch on the bottom. 4. You will hear a long beep followed by a series of short beeps. When you hear the short beeps, release the learn button. You have now cleared all sensors and transmitters from communicating with the Audio Alarm. INSTALLATION Installation is done using the screws included. For your convenience, we have also included wall anchors and a template to aid in the installation of the Audio Alarm and the Door/Window Sensors. How to use the template to help in the installation: 1. Tape the template to the wall where you would like the component to be 2. Screw part way into the surface where the holes are marked on the template 3. Unscrew the screws and remove the template 4. Screw the component in place where you started the screws We recommend that you install all components first with the double sided tape included and once you are satisfied with the positioning, reinstall using the screws. INSTALLING THE AUDIO ALARM The Audio Alarm is water resistance so it can be installed indoors or outdoors within access to an electrical outlet. Be careful that the AC adapter wire doesn't guide rain water to the DC JACK located at the bottom of the Audio Alarm. There are two ways to attach the Audio Alarm to the wall: Hanging it on two stationary screws 1. Using the template provided, insert the two screws into the wall. 2. Align the two top keyholes on the triangular tabs located at the back of the Audio Alarm with the screws on the wall. 3. Gently push the Audio Alarm on to these two screws. 4. Open the small door on the bottom of the Audio Alarm. 5. Insert the AC adapter and the antenna in the appropriate holes. 6. Close the small door so that the AC adapter and the antenna are running through the appropriate spaces in the door. 14 7
Screwing the unit to the wall INSTALLATION 1. Unscrew the two triangular hanging tabs located at the back of the Audio Alarm. 2. Turn them around and slide them back into place so that the two tabs are pointing up and the two keyholes are visible from the front. 3. Position the Audio Alarm on the wall and insert the two screws in the two keyholes. Do not insert the screws all the way into the wall, leave some room on the screw to hang the Audio Alarm. We can also use the template if needed. 4. Open the small door on the bottom of the Audio Alarm. 5. Insert the AC adapter and the antenna in the appropriate holes. 6. Close the small door so that the AC adapter and the antenna are running through the appropriate spaces in the door. INSTALLING THE DOOR/WINDOW SENSOR (WT-433) It is recommended to install one sensor on your front door and the other on your back door. Each contact sensor has 4 parts: PROGRAM SENSORS AND TRANSMITTERS TO THE AUDIO ALARM The two Door/Window Sensors have been preprogrammed as well as the keychain transmitter at the factory to communicate with the Audio Alarm. If after testing, there is no communication or you have purchased additional Door/ Window Sensors or Motion Sensors, (option), follow the instructions below: Note: As many as 15 sensors and keychain transmitters can be programmed to communicate with the Audio Alarm. Program Door/Window Sensors & Keychain Transmitter 1. With only the ON light lit on the Audio Alarm, press and hold the learn button located on the bottom of the Audio Alarm. 2. While pressing down on the button, For Door/Window Sensor - press the button on top of the transmitter of the Door/Window Sensor. For Keychain Transmitter - press any of the four buttons on the Keychain Transmitter and hold for 2 seconds. 3. If a connection has been made, the Audio Alarm will stop beeping and make a continuous tone until the "learn" button on the Audio Alarm is released. 4. Now test the sensor by opening the door or window. If the Audio Alarm beeps, they are communicating. Note: If you are alone while programming the sensors, take the Audio Alarm off the wall and bring it to the sensors so all the components are in one place.

ACTIVATE AND DEACTIVATE THE SYSTEM Now that the system is installed and the sensors are communicating with the Audio Alarm, it is time to learn how to arm and disarm the Audio Alarm. The only way to arm and disarm the Audio Alarm is via the Keychain Transmitter and Keypad Control (option). Turns off the siren and/ or disarms the system #3 Arms the system #1 KEYCHAIN TRANSMITTER 4B-434 Activate/deactivate the chime sound made when a sensor is #2 activated and the Audio Alarm is not armed Panic button 1. Position the transmitter beside the door/window frame on the wall using either two sided tape or screws. If you are using screws, first pry off the back plate with a small screwdriver and screw the back plate into position using the template. Then click the transmitter on to the back plate now mounted on the wall. INSTALLATION 2. Position the magnetic switch connected to the transmitter on the door/window frame. 3. Position the magnet on the door beside the magnetic switch. They should be no more than 1 cm (3/8 inch) apart. When the door/ window is closed, the magnets are in contact. When the door/window is opened, contact is broken and the transmitter sends a signal to the Control Panel to activate the chime or alarm. When the Audio Alarm is ON, the four buttons on the transmitter do the following: Panic Button - instantly activates the alarm, whether the Audio Alarm is in arm mode or not. Will always activate the alarm when the ON light is lit on the Audio Alarm. Button #1 - this button will arm the Audio Alarm so that the Audio Alarm will communicate with the sensors and transmitters. Button #2 - when the system is on but not armed and a remote sensor is activated, the Audio Alarm will emit one chime, (beep). Button #2 allows you to activate or deactivate the chime sound. For example, if people are using the frontdoor constantly, you may choose to turn off the chime sound. Button #3 -when the siren is sounding, this button will turn off the siren and disarm the Audio Alarm. - when the siren is not sounding but the system is armed, this button will disarm the Audio Alarm. 12 9
TESTING YOUR SYSTEM Before you learn how to use your security system, test to make sure that the Door/Window Sensors and the Keychain Transmitter are communicating with the Audio Alarm. TESTING THE DOOR/WINDOW SENSORS LIGHTS ON light lit LIGHTS AND SOUNDS -power is being sent to the Audio Alarm. Turn on the Audio Alarm, (slide the button on the bottom of the unit to ON ), allow 30 seconds for the Audio Alarm to warm up. The red ON light will appear. (when testing, do not turn the ARM light on or the siren will sound.) 1. Open the door or window that has the sensor on it. 2. The Audio Alarm will beep and the ON light will flash once, meaning the Audio Alarm has accepted the signal from the Door/Window Sensor. If the unit didn t beep, it is not communicating with the sensor. Relocate the Magnet closer to the Magnetic Switch or the Door/ Window Sensor. It may need to be programmed to communicate with the Audio Alarm, (see Program Sensors and Transmitters) 3. Repeat the above 2 steps with the other door or window with the sensor. TESTING THE KEYCHAIN TRANSMITTER Turn on the Audio Alarm so that only the ON light appears. Press button 1, 2 or 3 on the Keychain Transmitter, and if the Keychain Transmitter is communicating with the Audio Alarm, the "ON" light will flash once. The "ARM" light will come on if you press button 1.The Audio Alarm may beep once depending if you have the sound turned on. Button 2 activates and deactivates the sound. If the "ON" light does not flash, you must program the Keychain Transmitter to communicate with the Audio Alarm.
